This week I had the pleasure of being a part of a two person exhibition in a beautiful space at Goggleworks Center for the Arts in Reading, PA along with Erika Stearly.

Come On In is based on a shared interest in tension between the depiction of domestic spaces and an exploration of paint as a material. These paintings record the gesture of the hand of the artist, as well as the characteristics of oil and water-based paint, while the familiarity of furniture and other household items orients the viewer and enables them to develop their own narrative for what is happening. Whether the imagery is fabricated, or derived from actual locations, these paintings are both specific and universal.

Sex Symbol is an exhibition representing symbols of sex from a woman's perspective, with ‘sex’ having a broad interpretation, including: femininity, sexuality, intimacy, and the physical act itself. The artists, who are all from the Philadelphia area, are: Nancy Hellebrand in collaboration with Shira Yudkoff, Judy Gelles, Ekaterina Popova and Phyllis Gorsen.
